This is the hardware:
Standard Socket 7 board, which normally was filled with an AMD K6 II at 266 MHz. Mine had an Intel Pentium 166, which was far too gutless. However this machine came out with an AMD K6 II clocked at 500 and 550 MHz. At those speeds, heat was much more of an issue. These higher-clock speed CPUs have a shroud over their heatsink which tunnels air past and out the end cooling fan.
The machine has a standard Award BIOS, but to get to it you require a special serial null-modem cable. In the BIOS you can (apparently) boot from a CDROM and other stuff. I haven't managed to make the serial console work in pfSense yet, despite turning it on in the Advanced page.
NOKIA IP300 ADAPTER Special about this adapter is, that it connects pin 1 with 6 of the DTE's. Without that it is not possible to gain access to the BIOS. Pinout: (DB9F_DTE) (RJ45F_NOKIA) (NOKIA RJ45 Cable) (RJ45F_NOKIA) (DB9F_DTE) (DCD) 1 ---- 1 (DCD) 1 ---- 4 (RCV) 2 ---- 2 (RCV) 2 ---- 3 (XMT) 3 ---- 3 (XMT) 3 ---- 2 (DTR) 4 ---- 4 (DTR) 4 ---- 1 (GND) 5 ---- 5 (GND) 5 ---- 5 (Same) (DSR) 6 ---- 1 (DSR) 6 6 (RTS) 7 ---- 7 (RTS) 7 ---- 8 (CTS) 8 ---- 8 (CTS) 8 ---- 7 (RNG) 9 - -----Original Message----- From: Grabowski, David [mailto:david.grabowski@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, 11 October 2003 6:56 AM To: Mike.Carlson@xxxxxxxxxx; fw1-gurus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [fw1-gurus] Using Cisco ASYNC to connect to Nokia IPxx Mike, I don't have exactly the same environment as you, but it is similar. Take this for what it's worth (which may not be much) I've got a Cisco AS2511-RJ, which has sixteen serial interfaces. I use it to connect directly to the console ports of my cisco devices and my Nokia IP440's. It took some custom cabling to get it to work. I don't know if the 2511's ports are wired the same as a standard AUX port, but I wouldn't be surprised. Anyway, here's the pinout of an RJ45-RJ45 cable that I use. On the Nokia side, I use the RJ45-DB9 adapter that came with the Nokia. RJ45 (cisco) RJ45 (Nokia) 1 CTS 7 RTS 2 DTR 1 DCD/DSR 3 TXD 2 RXD 4 GND n/c 5 GND 5 GND 6 RXD 3 TXD 7 DCD/DSR 4 DTR 8 RTS 8 CTS
To enable serial console you have to edit /etc/ttys and on the line starting ttyd0 change the "off" to "on"

I changed the Pentium 166 to a AMD K6 II at 450 MHz and the damn thing is still running at 166 MHz.

Firstly, there is a hidden socket on the front panel. Its just to the right of fxp2 and left of the Power and Fault lights.
The machine has these things not used
I have a CF card rather than a hard drive. So enable Embedded mode with
echo embedded > /etc/platformThis minimises writes to the CF card to help prolong its life.
The need to fix up the mac addresses has been removed. pfSense notices the invalid MAC address now and writes a new one into its config file. The only drawback is that if you reinstall the mac address may change.
Seems that polling is a bad thing on this machine.
With polling enabled on all three NICs CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 1.5% system, 47.5% interrupt, 51.0% idle With polling disabled. CPU states: 0.4% user, 0.0% nice, 3.1% system, 3.1% interrupt, 93.4% idleAnyone got any ideas?
